well it got here. and the wife signed for it...didn't tell her i ordered a 700.00 seat...even though i went thru chicago hd for 500 +. all i can say is wow. what a big *** seat, for my big *** i guess. this thing is huge, but comfortable as hell. going to ark next week with 5 friends so i thought i would like to avoid "the burn". ridin' from houston to the state line is about 300 miles + then on to hot springs the first night. rode around a bit today and now windshield needs to be a little higher...it never ends. also, i am 6'1" and now my feet barely touch the ground. oh well...ride safe.

Congrats on the new couch ! Let us (me) know what you think about that Zepplin when you get back from your trip. I tried to get one when We bought our Ultra.... by now We all know about the "New Frame" thing. I noticed that H-D changed the bladder arrangement for this new version.

Post some pics

Cool. Thanks for posting the photos. I was thinking about getting one of those but you are right - IT'S HUGE! I think I'll just stay with my Airhawk pad for now.

Sparky....
I had a zep a few years back. Nice seat, you do ride high in that saddle.
Enjoy your ride, just don't fall asleep

I've read where some people love that seat on long trips, but don't like it when they're riding 'round town -- too floaty or your butt moves around too much. Curious about that.

Been riding on one for a few years and never experienced either of those sensations.

Hey Mrs. Sparky,

He spent $500 on a new seat!!!
